India, Nov. 7 -- Max Verstappen is set to start Sunday's Brazilian Grand Prix from the back of the grid after Red Bull decided to introduce new engine components ahead of the race at Interlagos. The decision will hand the four-time world champion a significant grid penalty as he prepares for the Sao Paulo GP.

According to a report, Red Bull have opted to make changes to Verstappen's power unit, resulting in a back-of-the-grid start. The development comes after the Dutchman had been approaching the limit of his permitted engine allocation. The decision is a setback for Verstappen, who will now have to fight his way through the field in Sunday's 71-lap race.
